ing forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to any improved ma'nner .of attaching metal barrels for the valves to work into wooden pipes, for detaching-and removing the barrels when required forfcleaning or repairs, as hereinafter described.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved pump, and

Figure 2 is a cross-section of the same;v

l Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the metal barrel;

B, the top of the stock;

C, the upper section of woodpipe; and

D, the lower section.

The barrel has lng's E 'projecting radially from` the ends' o'n two Opposite sides, which have key-holes F through them.

These lugs are passed through holes in the woodclamping bars G, and the said bars, after being engaged with the stock B and the lower pipe D,f are keyed up snugly against the sides of the barrel A.

They'are nailed or otherwise fastened at the top to the short pieces H, which, together with the said upper ends, -form the base or seat for the top B, which sits ou the top and has a hoop or band, 1 projecting from it so as to receive the said upper ends.

The lower ends have lugs K, which are pressed into sockets formed for them inthe upper end of the wood section D.v
